Thank you, Mr. Chairman, I have some comments to make in regards to this issue on capital expenditures. I did not actually understand some of the, may be this is because of my misunderstanding, what has transpired this summer. I have travelled throughout my constituency as well as outside of Canada. Maybe, because of the fact that I was travelling, that is why I was not aware of what had transpired, in Pangnirtung and also in Broughton Island.

I always try to visit them whenever possible and when I went to Broughton Island I was told by the Hamlet Manager in Broughton Island, the airport at Broughton Island had been postponed, the airport that was going to be made. Being MLA for that region, when I went to visit them that was the only time I was told what had transpired and what had been planned for the coming summer. For people who we represent, we have to represent them in this House and I do believe when we have our constituents to represent and have to live by the rules of the law in thinking of everything that has transpired in the Northwest Territories, what my colleague, Mr. Ootes had stated earlier, I believe that he had stated when we are going to be some of the capital expenditures are going to be taken out then maybe the Minister should consult with us as MLAs as well as the hamlet and some of the bodies that are responsible for the maintenance for the communities.

If the other people in any of the other communities do require this particular capital expenditure that is going to be taken away from our constituency then we should be consulted. There are more important issues as well in the Northwest Territories, even if it is a small community, even if the population is not as great, they will be treated equally and fairly. That is what we were told last year and that is what I believe. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
